Amazon is a customer-obsessed company and we appreciate your interest in the important topic of underage tobacco use. Below we have highlighted the tools that we provide customers to select appropriate content for their households. We are available to discuss these issues further with your offices if you have any questions. Today, the Amazon Prime Video catalog available to customers in the United States contains tens of thousands of titles, including Amazon Originals as well as third-party licensed movies and television series from content providers around the world. Our content selection is always changing; due to the size and dynamic nature of our catalog and the lack of an industry standard mechanism for identifying tobacco-specific data within content, we are unable to provide a title by title assessment on the presence of tobacco imagery or dialogue. However, individual maturity ratings are displayed on the detail page for the title within the catalog. Amazon Prime Video’s goal is to deliver the broadest selection of premium content to our customers to stream, purchase, or rent while also ensuring that we provide the information necessary to allow customers to make informed decisions about what content is appropriate for them and their households.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Coming Out of the Television LGBT-themed Made-for-Television Movies as Critical Media Pedagogy Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education by David Randolph Craig 2014 © Copyright by David Craig 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Coming Out of the Television LGBT-themed Made-for Television Movies as Critical Media Pedagogy David Randolph Craig Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Douglas M. Kellner, Chair Since the early 1970s, an important but under-examined subgenre of Made-for-Television Movies have foregrounded critical LGBT concerns, including coming out, parental custody, HIV/AIDS, gays in the military, and hate crimes or featured affirmative LGBT representations. These programs, often highly-rated and critically-acclaimed, were nonetheless sites of political contestation from social conservatives and LGBT activists. Through the lenses of critical media pedagogy, critical cultural studies, and critical media industries studies, this dissertation conducts a critical cultural history of LGBT TV movies. This history includes critical case studies of twenty seminal LGBT programs featuring original interviews with the producers, executives, and writers responsible for their pedagogical design. The evidence reflects how these programs helped frame these concerns, educate audiences, and advocate on behalf of the LGBT community. This research further suggests how progressive pedagogues and media

  • A History of the Presentation of American Football in England and Germany
    FROM VIOLENCE TO PARTY: A HISTORY OF THE PRESENTATION OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND AND GERMANY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lars Dzikus, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin L. Adelman, Adviser Professor Sarah K. Fields Adviser Professor William J. Morgan College of Education ABSTRACT While scholars have widely discussed the cultural, economic, and political influence of the United States on Europe in general and Germany in particular, the realm of sports has received surprisingly little attention. This study ties in with the scholarly debate about Americanization and / or globalization that started in the first half the 1990s. It examines the presentation of American football in England from the 1890s through World War II as well as in Germany following the war to the present day. The study discusses what non-Americans wrote about football and what their countrymen and –women read about it. The study draws on English and German newspapers and magazines, particularly the London Times and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. It also examines the role American military, radio, television, and movies played in the diffusion of American football. In the case of Germany, the researcher draws on extensive qualitative interviews with several of the “founding fathers” of American football in Germany as well as his own experiences in the sport. The work demonstrates that American football arrived in Germany on a field that had been prepared by a three-hundred-year process of imagining Amerika.
